House maintainin'

[BroTrevor]

Tomorrow I am going to attempt to install a sump pump in the crawl space. It'll be cold, but it must be done.

It'll be a time of work gloves, tools, PVC, hammer-drillin concrete, etc...

very manly...

A big fort hurrah!


(anyone is welcome to come to the work party)

Sorry, I'll be sleeping in tomorrow ;) My dad is replacing the electrical service at my boss's house, and since the office is in her basement, that means no electricity all day... which means I can't work :)

Sounds like you'll be free to come over then!!

Why sleep in when you could run the hammer drill for me. Breakin' through concrete man...it's gotta be a thrill greater than sleeping in!

sadly no, I just spent a bundle of money on the pump and assoc items.

at least that will be warm I guess.

[HotShot53]

hmm... seems we have a problem then... cause I really don't feel like spending a ton of money just so I have to wake up early, on the last saturday I can sleep in for 2 months...

That's what I wanted to do... but my sister woke me up at 9:00, saying I should get up so i could take her to her music lesson at 10:30.... for one thing, I didn't need to be woken up till 10:00 for that, and for another, my mom got home at like 9:45 from watching my niece, so I didn't have to take my sister anyway... so my last time to sleep in for 2 months was ruined for nothing :(

Sheesh... what do you call sleeping in? Getting up at 12? I got up at 9:30... but that's definitely sleeping in for me.

[HotShot53]

welll, since I get up usually at 8 for work... 9 is slightly sleeping in, but real sleeping in is till at least 10 or 11... I've done 12 a couple times, but never later than that ;)

The sump pump is now installed.

Thanks to all who came by and offered to help. We all had a great time down in the crawl space putting PVC together and knocking a hole in the brick to put it through.

Now if I can figure out a way to route that water under my driveway or something.

[NoahL]

Dynamite. Get that pesky concrete out of your way and lay the pipe down. Problem solved.


Of course... the dynamite might cause a few more problems... But I'm sure you can work out all the minute details.

[BroTrevor]

I think I'm trying to get it to where I don't make things to fix, as I fix other things...

[NoahL]

Oh. Leave it to some computer techie to go and be all "logical".
